Music As far as students who spent all their time in the main building were concerned, the music school was just a place from which music students rushed to get to their unmusical classes about five minutes late. But to those tardy students, the workshop was the most important campus spot where, among other things, servicemen were entertained and concerts were held to sell war bonds and stamps. The music faculty took a heating this year. Among those on leave of absence are Tom B. Steunenberg, theory professor, now teaching at Miami senior high, and Alan Collins, cello and theory teacher, who is instructing navigators for the Navy V-5 program. Another on the list is vocal and choral teacher Bob Reinert, now in the Army band at Camp Gordon Johnson, Fla. Sarah Folwell has taken leave and her work is being carried on by Lina Coen, new addition to the faculty roster. A graduate of the Baris conservatory of music, Madame Coen has had experience in teaching, directing and coaching in New York and Europe. Joseph Tarpley is once again handling a full-time schedule of piano classes after two years in government work. This year the Norwood Dalman award was founded in honor of the outstanding alumnus who was killed in action. It was presented to the male student who performed the greatest service to the mjLisic school. Kverett Nichols had the honor of being the first recipient. The 11+ stars on the service flag which adorns the lobby of the workshop stand as a tribute to music students now in the armed forces. Numerous visits by these boys home on furlough have been proof of their interest in their musical home. The workshop has been the scene of many informal recitals throughout the year. One of the highlights was the “soldiers entertain civilians” series. Mr. Gregor’s “Bach, Beethoven and Brahms” lecture-recitals drew large audiences whose admission tickets were war stamps or bonds. The music and drama departments undertook the ambitious task of presenting the operetta “Hansel and Gretel” at the end of May. I 2

Business Ad We wouldn’t have been surprised if the school of business administration had started offering art classes or the liberal arts division had a couple of courses in the principles of accounting this year, what with Dean Ernest McCracken keeping both schools on course. But, luckily, confusion was down to a minimum. When he was concentrating on business administration, the U.’s Kentucky colonel of hard work consulted with Dean Emeritus John Thom Holdsworth, Dr. Reinhold Wolff, Mrs. Luellen Hauser, (). F. Weber, and neophyte J. Maynard Keech. As usual the stories about the bus. ad. faculty just “growed and growed.” Students insisted that Dr. Wolff’s charts looked like Rube Goldberg drawings, that Dr. Holdsworth still graded papers by their “heft.” They became gleeful at the appearance of Mr. Keech in a striped seersucker suit. But the bus. ad. students learned a lot Kd Loivi , Jane Brannon, and Shrllcv Bonne express the Spirit of Studying for Bu ines» Administration. Rtlotc: The Business Administration faculty included Mrs, Hauser, Dr. Wolff, Dr. Keech, Dr. Manley, Dean McCracken. about business — especially in relation to war and post-war problems. Mr. McCracken, Dr. Holdsworth, and Dr. Wolff had already become beloved legends. This year the other three members of the faculty approached legendary status. Mrs. Hauser turned out cracker-jack stenographers and office managers; Mr. Weber untangled matters for students who were mentally weary of those “simplified” tax forms; Mr. Keech left nothing to Ik imagined about accounting. Jeff I). Swinebroad left the University at the beginning of the March term, headed north, where he is teaching other college classes the innermost mysteries of accounting, the joys of mountain-climbing, and the perfidies of the New Deal. Dr. Louis K. Manley’s courses in government continued to he among the most popular on the campus, especially the Saturday morning class in current events. Dr. Manley, a man who understands his students, found a way of stimulating their interest in the progress of the war by offering a 25. war bond to the one guessing the date of the end of hostilities. Speculators last spring predicted that the schools of liberal arts and business administration would suffer inestimably from the war. Now they say not so, for students have found that business training especially is essential today and will he essential tomorrow in the post-war world. 1 3
